Many of us start running skeptically but keep running moved by a new found belief in ourselves and others. We develop a spiritual connection to the sport and are inspired by each other. But what's it like to be a highly sensitive person in a community that thrives on deeply emotional experiences?  That's unexpectedly what my guest, Jamie DePaola, and I explore in today's episode. Jamie is a fellow empath, and is also a clairvoyant, and ultra marathon runner. From the moment I saw her, I felt like we'd known each other for my entire life! Some people even say we even look alike with similar mannerisms. Maybe it's no wonder I found her aura refreshing but I've no doubt you're going to catch all the feels during this conversation.Jamie's energy is contagious and her heart is warm and welcoming and I can't wait to share her with you.  (00:00:00) Intro (0:02:00) Empowering Girls (00:06:50) My Introduction to Jamie (doppelganger) (00:08:09) Pixie Haircuts, Tattoos, Piercings, and Being Authentic (00:12:26) Jamie's Introduction (00:17:00) Empaths and The Running Community (00:27:46) How She Started Running (Angel Story) (00:35:00) Ultra Running and Training (00:41:35) Empath and Energy (00:51:58) Values and Being Loyal (01:00:00) Inner Child Work (01:00:04) Being Clairvoyant (01:08:00) Spirituality Follow Jamie on intagram at @mad4marathons , me @nickytamberrino and this show @mayberunningwillhelp Please help us grow our community!

Today is Monday April 17th! That means it's Marathon Monday! And we are just about an hour from the start of the 2023 Boston Marathon. In honor of this special day, I'm sharing a clip from Boston Local, Runner, and Harvard Professor known for his research on the evolution of the human body and the biomechanics of barefoot running - Dr. Daniel E Lieberman. In this clip we will cover how running represents the concept of community like no other sport - especially at big city marathons including - and specifically Boston since the bombing, and what he thinks is so special about this specific 26.2 distance. The marathon really is a special experience and something to celebrate as a runner and as part of the community. There is nothing like the Boston marathon. From the elite athletes to the incredible volunteers, and supportive city. Congrats to everyone who is running today - don't forget you qualified to be a part of this day and that is already the accomplishment. It's party time! LFG :) Keep running, keep inspiring, and keep sharing how maybe running will help. Have a great run everybody!
